In the new firmware version, the stability of the MQTT connection to the server has been improved. Further upgrades will be based on MQTT to improve communication and integration on homeassistant. Due to the increasingly frequent price increases of cloud services, the tendency is for people who use IOT technology to switch to their own private server such as homeassistant and to no longer depend on expensive alternatives.
The new firmware version brings a complete redesign of the display on the screen. Now 3 basic things are constantly displayed. Every new device comes with a code for the pressure sensor.
The option to enter a token in the HTTP service has been added. This is particularly useful for applications such as Fermentrack. If you don’t need Token, just leave that field empty.
The new firmware version for iRelay Plus allows data to be sent to BrewFather from multiple iRelay devices. It is only necessary to change the name of the AP SSID of the iRelay in the settings. Each Irelay must have a different name
Since this version, a more precise calibration/correction of iRelay temperature is possible.
As of today, the Pressure version of the firmware is also available as an addition to iRelay.
The new firmware version allows iRelay thermometer data to be sent to the UbiDots application independent of iSpindel data. Firmware site
Due to frequent inquiries about the white color of the device housing, white devices are also available from today. When querying, it is necessary to specify the color immediately, since the standard color is black.
Several improvements to iRelay have been underway over the past month. The latest is the ability to receive 2 Spindles on the BrewSpy app. Also, in cooperation with the team from BrewSpy, it is possible to send temperature data from iRelay to their mobile application as well as the web app.

12/28/2020 Firmware 6.2.9 Download Displays the percentage of battery next to the remaining voltage. The values in the percentage formula are: 4.2V for Voltage.max and 3.3V for Voltage.min. The percentage is also visible on the local website and can be sent to the Blynk app via a virtual pin.It is recommended to calibrate the battery and change the correction factor before using the iSpindle. By default, ispindel batt factor is 191.8. You can adjust it by this formula: (displayed voltage / measured voltage) * current factor (191.8) = new factor
The new factor should be between current factor more or less 20%.
